Abstract
A universal filter mounting attachment for engine oil filters comprises a base having valved apertures therethrough and a threaded member selected for connection to a cooperating threaded member on a particular engine. The base carries a latch which cooperates with corresponding structure on the filter to latch the filter to the base and thus to the engine for circulation through the filter of oil from the engine. The base is normally left attached to the engine and the filter is unlatched therefrom for replacement or the like. The latch and the cooperating structure on the filter are designed such that filters may be manufactured in a single configuration and attached to all engines.
